Are You My Daughter? With those four words Ridley Jones easy going, nice safe life comes crashing down all around her.
After enjoying her 15 minutes of fame for saving a toddler from certain death by taxi on a NYC street, Ridley Jones finds that there is a downside to all the publicity she receives as a hero. One of them is a picture of a man, a woman and a little girl with the mystifying question scrawled across the bottom. After thinking it is some sick joke Ridley decides to confront her parents, who reassure her that she is indeed their child. But there is a nagging doubt at the back of her mind. When Ridley meets her new neighbor, the very appealing Jake Jacobson, she tells him her story. Offering to help her find out if there is any truth to her doubts Ridley and Jake begin a roller coaster search for the truth that confronts all the Beautiful Lies we often live with without even knowing they are lies.
I enjoyed this suspense mystery very much. It was nicely paced, well written and kept me guessing until the end. I have the sequel Sliver of Truth already. A very good and entertaining read that doesn’t take the easy way out by tying everything up in a neat bow, lots of loose ends and questions remain. High recommend.
